Tuesday - We Board the Boat

There were about 50 of us Eurodam cruisers at the hotel. After a nice buffet breakfast, the Holland Rep corralled us all onto the motor coach for the half hour ride to the terminal. We went through all the normal security checkpoints and boarded the ship with no issues. It was actually quite painless! We were in our room by noon.

The afternoon was spent exploring the ship, having lunch in the Lido Cafe, unpacking our stuff. We left Ft Lauderdale behind right on schedule, about 4:00 PM. The weather is great!

Dinner tonight was a “welcome” steak dinner. Very good. Our evening ended with a very informative program in the Main Theater about the 150 year history of Holland America Lines.





Our room has a nice balcony
